It's going to be a hot Valentine's Day in Hawke's Bay with temperatures reaching up to 31C on Thursday.

MetService meteorologist Stephen Glassey said while there would be notably large ocean swells on Sunday and Monday due to a tropical disturbance, the rest of the week would remain fairly calm.

"There are some swells getting into the north-eastern parts of the North Island which are associated with a low pressure system that is sitting above the country. The swells have already been generated by the wind.

Glassey said it's likely that at least one tropical cyclone will form in the Pacific this week.
